If you needed further proof that Dave Franco is legitimately straight, check out the latest Funny or Die skit that revives his and Chris Mintz’s “You’re So Hot” competition, an ongoing battle of wits that defines heterosexual male humor.
For those of you not in the loop, “You’re So Hot” is a slightly homoerotic game of chicken in which Franco and Mintz try to make each other laugh by describing, in lurid detail, how hot the other is. The first one to laugh obviously loses the game, but these two are so dedicated to the sport that they basically end up making out before anyone laughs (see parts one and two).
It’s not exactly one of Dave Franco’s famous on-set blowjobs, but if you can make it through all the vagina jokes, you can watch these boys scissor to completion below. In drag.

So just to be clear Queerty, you think this is funny but Adam Corolla is offensive ?
The notion that gay sex is something to laugh at is in itself homophobic. This clips just perpetuates that gay sex Is either something to be reviled or ridiculed by the mainstream

@Ian: Who said it was funny?
Ian
Um, so you don’t think it is funny either? Then why post it? Also, why not outright say it is not funny and moreover it is offensive. It was only 2 days ago that you posted a story about Adam Corolla condemning him for his outrageous comments about gay people and even went as far as saying about Corolla “what a gross creep. Ick.”
But since this is Dave Franco and his is young and attractive, he gets a pass?
Matthew Tharrett
@Ian: You must be thinking of a different writer. “Gross creep” and “ick” are not in my vocabulary.
Ian
@Matthew Tharrett:
Well, you got me there. That explains EVERYTHING except all of the points i made in my comments. It is clear that the editorial tone of this site is all over the place, especially when the writers are throwing each other under the bus.
Kamuriie
This video is not offensive. You people have absolutely no sense of humor, and you’re outraged, seemingly, about everything.
I’m sure you’re as insufferable in person as you are online.
Get over it.
Matthew Tharrett
@Ian: If you ask me, a website where all the writers agree with each other sounds pretty boring.
Ian
name calling @Kamuriie:
Personal attacks don’t really leave you much room for the high ground. It is my personal opinion that straight people depicting gay sex for laughs is inherently homophobic and I found it strange that a site that condemned one comedian 2 days ago for homophobic behavior. J
Before you call people insufferable, maybe check yourself hun, cause you don’t really seem all that pleasant either.

I come for the stories, but I stay for the cat fights. Me-ow!

An absolute bullshit. Watchful more human to another topic sense than a disgrace. Fantasmagoire.

@Ian: “Name-calling”? Seriously? Calling you insufferable isn’t “name-calling.”
Adam Corolla spewed off BS about his imaginings about the “Gay Mafia.” The only nexus between him and these two are that they are comedians, except Corolla’s controversy wasn’t based on his COMEDY. You’re REALLY, really stretching.
The sketch was funny. Juvenile, perhaps, but funny. South Park similarly makes fun of scissoring–it’s an amusing concept.
*You* don’t get to decide for everybody else what’s funny and what’s offensive. It may indeed offend you, but again, I suspect that’s because you’re *incredibly* easily offended.
Ian
@Kamuriie:
At no point do I ever say I am deciding anything for anyone, so again, check yourself there. My opinion of the sketch is that it is inherently homophobic. The notion of scissoring is homophobic and ignorant to me because that is not even a thing lesbians do, it is a thing that straight people say lesbians do in the bedroom for a laugh.
Referring to me as “You People” and calling me insufferable for having a differing opinion is name calling and a personal attack because it has nothing to do with my opinion on this topic and more of value judgment you’ve made about me based on my post. You even take another swipe at me as a person in your second post as well.
Kamuriie
@Ian: “You people” is merely colloquial speech, referring to the outrage-contingent on this site that is perpetually offended about almost everything.
Corolla has *nothing* to do with these two–they’re not even remotely the same thing. A random sketch two kids did *so* offended you that you felt the need to complain about it on here.
Calling you easily offended isn’t a “value judgment.” It’s an observation based on what you’ve chosen to display to everybody else. You’re well within your rights to be offended, but, again, I suspect you’re in the very small minority, even among fellow LGBTs.
Ian
@Kamuriie:
i m just one person and now you are calling me the outrage-contingent?? I have an opinion you don’t agree with, that is all that actually happening here.
I see it as Corolla was explicitly being homophobic and this sketch is implicitly homophobic. This site posted both items, blasting Corolla for his behavior but this is seen a funny and not offensive. I disagreed and commented so and then you started the personal attacks.
I may be in the minority on this but that changes nothing. Were this satire, a sketch that poked fun at the heterosexual notion of lesbian sex (which they did very successfully years ago on SNL) then I would find it funny, but this was just the same old thing, Look same sex sex…..how ridiculous and hilarious!!!
Disagree with me all you want, but you demean us both by making it personal.

@Ian:
I understand what you’re saying, the Franco/ Mintz-Plasse “You’re so hot” videos are intended to see how graphic can one of them be, before the other person cracks up. The person cracks because the idea of these sexual situations is intended to embarrass and/or gross them out.
I think the sketch only works if it is two straight men because the situation is only really funny if there’s no sexual chemistry between the two players. If a man and woman did this, it wouldn’t be as funny. If two gay men or two lesbians did this, again, it wouldn’t be as funny. That’s of course if you don’t put in another element, like if one of them is really old or fat. Because people tend to desexualize the elderly and obese. Then it goes back to making you laugh because it grosses you out. I think the homophobia can only really be judged by why the viewer is laughing, not the sketch itself. Gay men can watch this and laugh because they feel the embarrassment of such graphic descriptions of sex. Homophobes laugh for the gross out factor. Now that’s all well and good for the first two videos. This video…i mean you can read in sexism and lesbian fettishism, but I don’t want to think so much on some lame funny or die sketch that’s jumped the shark.
